KatMouse is an old but very useful utility. It has one specific feature that TaekWindow is missing: provide mouse-wheel scrolling capabilities in older applications / laptops that may not support it. If this could be added to TaekWindow, it would be great.

    A good idea, but I've never run into such an app during the last ten years. Could you provide some examples, so I can see what (if anything) they have in common, so I can code for it?

    Try using Microsoft Visual Basic 6 in a laptop / netbook. For some reason, mouse scrolling does not work. I think i've also seen this behavior with MSOffice 2000 apps.

    Does this program fix the issue for you (either while running Taekwindow, or not)?

    If so, I can save myself some research time.

    Yes, it does!
